Appoint Editors
Of Publications
In its April 2 meeting, the stu-dent
senate approved the appoint-ments
submitted by the publica-tions
board for the editorships of
the college's three student publica-tions.
Editing the CLARION will be
Dave Johnson, a sophomore nat-ural
science major from Cam-bridge,
Minn. Active in high school
publications, he has served this
year as associate editor of the
CLARION.
Selected president of his fresh-man
class, he was also elected
as member-at-large to the student
senate this year.
In commenting on plans for the
newspaper next year, he expressed
the hope of receiving sufficient
financial aid from the inclusive fee
to continue weekly publication of
the CLARION and pledged the
efforts of his staff to provide a
stimulating and representative col-lege
newspaper.
Assuming editorship of COEVAL
will be Carol Stewart, a sophomore
from Brighton, Colorado. She en-ters
this position with experience
as a high school journalist and as
a reporter for the CLARION and
business manager for COEVAL her
freshman year.
Discussing her plans for the
coming year, Miss Stewart stat-ed,
"COEVAL should continue
to serve as a stimulus for crea-tive
writing."
Co-editors have been announced
for the 1964 SPIRE. Carole Lund-quist
and Minda Pearson, both
juniors from St. Paul, will share
- tne responsibilities of the editor-ship.
An English major, Miss Lund-quist
has been involved in student
senate work, and this year was
named to Lambda Iota Tau, a na,
tional honorary literary society,
and Who's Who Among Students
in American Colleges and Universi-ties.
Serving as CLARION reporter
and copy editor for the SPIRE
this year, Miss Pearson has also
had extensive experience in high
school where she was associate
editor of her high school yearbook.
"We hope to make the SPIRE
reflect an image or images of
Bethel through increased emphasis
on photography and a new philo-sophy
of yearbooks. We do not in-tend
to produce a catalogue or
diary of events," she said.
"Trained shelter managers and
radiological instrument operators
are essential to the survival of em-ployees,
tenants and others who
will seek shelter in your building
in event of attack," stated L. W.
Marsh of St. Paul's Bureau of Civil
Defense.
Mr. Marsh was announcing the
continuation of a training program
for civil defense workers, offered
free of charge to Bethel students
and personnel due to the location
of a fall-out shelter in the sub-basement
of the college building.
Conducted from 12 noon to 5
p.m. on April 23-24, the shelter
management course will be held
at the American Red Cross build-ing,
413 Auditorium street, St.
Paul.
Radiological instrument opera-tor's
courses will be held for three
consecutive Saturdays, Mondays or
Seventy-seven per cent of the
student body voted in a record-setting
turnout for student senate
officers and members-at-large on
Friday, March 29. In another elec-tion
on Friday, April 5, students
selected their class officers and
class senate representatives.
Elected by a majority of the 503
votes cast, Bob Sorley, a junior
from Minneapolis, will serve as
president of the student senate.
This year he has served as class
representative on the senate and
as a member of the chapel and
spiritual life committee.
"I am glad for the opportunity
given me as a result of the re-cent
election," Sorley comment-ed.
As first vice president, Ed Carl-son,
a junior from Iron Mountain,
Mich., will supervise Welcome
week activities and coordinate the
senate's membership in student or-ganizations.
A sophomore from
Menlo Park Calif., Bob Beckstrom
was elected to head the student
Thursdays beginning on April 20,
22 and 25 respectively. These cour-ses
are conducted at the St. Paul
Civil Defense Training center, 1900
Rice.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday
and running continuously until 6
p.m. Sunday at the State Highway
Civil Defense Training center, 1900
W. County road I, in Arden Hills,
the shelter occupancy exercise will
be held April 20-21.
Open to participants in the
shelter managing courses, this
phase of the program will simu-late
life in a fallout shelter un-der
emergency conditions to en-able
the personnel to gain work-ing
experience.
Interested students and faculty
members can secure additional in-formation
by contacting Eugene
Glader, chairman of Bethel's civil
defense committee.
"Reading .. the fifth freedom ..

Fischer, secretary; Roger Walden-strom,
treasurer; and Paul Larson,
representative.
In its fourteenth annual confer-ence,
the National Association of
Christians in Social Work will meet

Retiring Editor Comments
On Year of Publication
With the publication of this issue, another CLARION staff
finishes its term of office, and a new group of students stands
ready to assume this responsibility. It is with mixed emotions
that one leaves the editorship of a college newspaper, so per-haps
the reader will allow a few paragraphs of public nostalgia.
This year has been a busy one. For the first time the cam-pus
has been furnished with a weekly newspaper, and a staff
of workers has faithfully met deadline after deadline, writing
copy, composing headlines and laying out the paper. Their
names are listed in the masthead, and they deserve our thanks.
We are also appreciative of the hours spent by the news re-porters,
the feature writers and the business and office per-sonnel,
without whom the CLARION could not have existed.
As a staff, we have worked together closely and well.
New friendships have been made and new experiences have
been gained as an honest attempt was made to ferret out
news and features and to represent student opinion. We
have weathered controversy and calm; have made our mis-takes
and learned from them; and have emerged confident
that it has been a worthwhile experience.
Above all we have enjoyed the journalistic freedom exist-ing
on this campus, and we have made every effort to accept
the responsibilities which necessarily accompany such freedom.
That this school has consistently maintained its trust in the re-sponsible
judgment of its student press is a credit to its liberal
arts emphasis.
A retiring editor has many things to say to his successor,
and Jan Puckett of the University of Oklahoma has crystalized
these feelings when she expressed the following:
"When you take over the editor's chair, you will be
taking the world—or at least the campus—on your shoulders.
The honor that you receive will be buried under the heap of
criticisms which will be piled upon you.
"You will be encouraged to create a controversy, if there
is none available at the time. If you do not, you will be called
wishy-washy. If you do, you will be called sensational. When
you take a stand on anything, you will be called 'biased' .. .
"You will be greeted at the dinner table, in your classes
and in your office with complaints about the paper. And you
will realize that there is no need to explain that you were not
responsible for that particular page, story or headline. Because,
to the majority of the campus, you ARE the paper .. .
"You advocate what you feel is best for the students at
your university, and you thank the powers that be that you
are the editor and have the chance to express yourself!"

AS CHRISTIANS we rest our RESURRECTION LIFE for the

eternal significance, that death is The "power of the resurrection,"
or just the thought of a resurrec-tion,
implies a death. We can only
participate in Christ's resurrection
and its power if we have first died
with Him to our sin in salvation,
His death to sin effecting our
death to sin.
Looking back on the resurrec-tion
historically is only one way
of viewing it. The real way to
look on the resurrection, or the
way that is real and living for
us, is to experience the death
and resurrection of Christ
throughout all the contemporary
moments of our life.
If we have been crucified with
Christ, we shall also be raised with
Him. If we die to our sins daily,
we shall also have resurrection
victory over sins daily.
THE POWER of the resurrection
is the power of the holy life, a
life of constantly putting sin to
death. Paul states this process of
life in death when he says: "for
if you live according to the flesh
you will die, but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the
body you will live (Romans 8:13)."
Resurrection life is this life
out of death, as Jesus gained life
for us by His death. The power
of the life of the resurrected
Savior, as the Romans passage
indicates drives back and out of
ones life the power of sin and
death.
The Spirit of the resurrection is
life and victory over sin for us
daily, if we but live in the Spirit's
purifying presence, sin dying un-der
its purging power; the pure in
heart knowing and beholding their
Lord.

Dear Editor:
Viewing the letters in the CLAR-ION
of March 26 left the uneasy
feeling that much had gone un-said,
and, of that which was said,
much was untouched. One trusts,
however, that Pastor Frykholm was
better understood than these let-ters
seem to indicate.
How such statements as "We
need to do some tall thinking on
this matter of general boycotting
or selectivity," and "(but) I think
the situation now requires a boy-cott"
yield a "dogmatic 'no" or
"any movie-attendance is a sin" is
beyond comprehension (for those
who have had 30 Days to .. . non
sequitur).
Secondly—perhaps contempla-tion
of term papers causes this
—one could hope for a little
footnoting on such free-floating
ideas as, "Our attendance at mov-ies
is not a hindrance . . .", and
"often the only medium . . . is
the cinema," and "the Christian
student . . . will not 'lead his
brother astray." (At this point
Mr. Starr is honest in admitting
that he "hopes" movie attend.
ance will not provide a stumb-ling-
block for his brother.)
All the conjecture at this crux
seems based upon such tacit as-sumptions
as cinema's true rep-resentation
of "the nature of con-temporary
man," intent to portray
society's "inherent evils," and iden-tical
motives for attending the
theatre— for aesthetic pleasure
and sociological insight, Christian,
and non-Christian alike.
After reading the letters one
begins to wonder what the Apostle
would have written—pardon the
conjecture — had the Corinthian
church written saying; 1) "This
meat is goad for our bodies," 2)
"We hope our neighbors won't be
hurt," and 3) "We may even be
able to open the way of communi-cation
with him by eating this
meat."
My conjecture further imagines
that Paul would have asked three
parallel questions; 1) Can you eat
other and/or better food else-where?
2) Is your brother hurt?
3) Do you communicate the Gospel
more effectively?
One key to this issue was sug-gested
by Pastor Frykholm in the
short time for his too-brief con-cluding
remarks when he asked,
"Why do you attend movies?" An
honest answer to this question a-lone
may eliminate much of the
need for the secondary controversy
through which we have already
gone.
James Keim
Dear Editor:
Concern over last week's letters
to the editor constrains me to
state a few thoughts regarding this
matter of the cinema. First of all,
it seems to me Pastor Frykholm
deserves a word of thanks for his
willingness to speak on this issue.
He knew that he might be fac-ing
a "hostile audience." He did
not speak with a "holier than thou"
attitude. He spoke in great con-cern
as a Conference pastor and I
respect him for it.
My response to the chapel mes-sage
was one of mutual concern—
not so much over the initial ques-tion
of the cinema, but rather, over
the "prior question" which Fryk-holm
stated in his closing prayer.
Do we as Christians on Bethel's
campus really understand the im-plications
of our walk with Christ?
Are we really concerned that those
about us who know not Christ
might come to a saving knowledge
of Him through our lives?
It seems to me that when we see
this small matter of the cinema in
the total perspective of our pur-pose
as Christians, there is left
no question in the matter.
Judy Kiassy
Dear Editor:
I wish to thank those students
who, since Frykholm's dogmatic
presentation of fallaciousness, have
helped strengthen my liberal posi-tion.
I came to Bethel from a hyper-conservative
indoctrination which
said that Bible-content was to be
revered, that the entrance-gates to
the body were to be Christ's, that
time was to be redeemed, and that
movies did none of these. This
background immediately cut me
off from many of my would-be
friends.
This pressure stuffed relative
pronouns like, "Why," into my
head. I began to question my
old list of don'ts, yet I could not
break these rigid ideas. When I
finally did attend a movie, I saw
Christ pointing His finger, say-ing,
"Shame on you!"
Then the other day I again came
across the verses that say we are
to be faithful stewards and are to
redeem the time. "Here, I thought,
"must be the basis of my preju-dice
against movies; there is only
so much time to do the Master's
work."
But as I scanned the last CLAR-ION,
I became convicted of my
dogmatic fanaticism. I had failed
to be a faithful steward of the
Master's time, and I had not been
an effective Christian witness be-cause
I knew little of the nature
of contemporary man, and the
inherent evils of society today.'
Now I am free from my funda-mentalist
ideas. I try to select
one movie every two weeks to
give me more insights into the
evils of the day. It is amazing
how much more effective I have
become for Christ since break-ing
with my former indoctrina-tion.
I must confess there are certain
questionable consequences from my
new position: 1) I do not have as
much time to go out on church or
mission assignments; 2) I have
had to cut down my quiet-time 15
minutes on movie-night; 3) and my
mind seems to be more caught up
in the evils of which I am learn-ing.
Nevertheless we must sacrifice
for Christ's sake. I would urge all
who have been indoctrinated like
me to give themselves wholly to
the Lord that they may use their
remaining time most effectively by
selective movie-going.

Class Elections
Bring Questions
(cont'd. from p. 2)
indicative of the poor state of elec-tion
procedures here at Bethel.
There are three questions that
I would like to raise in substan-tiating
the above charge and in re-gard
to last week's elections:
1) What was the reason for hold-ing
elections for class offices this
early in the year, and why if abso-lutely
necessary in such haste?
2) Why couldn't a sign have been
clearly posted stating the advisa-bility
of declaring candidacy before
a certain closing date?
3) Why should an exclusive nom-inating
committee, such as was the
case in the freshman class, func-tion
when no established parties
are involved, and then turn in the
names of their appointees, right
before the close of the application
time limit?
I would whole-heartedly recom-mend
a complete revaluation of
election procedures on the class
level. It seems to me that a more
reasonable and better thought out
system could be developed. Are
we to be run by past tradition?
Are we to be governed by an
obsolete election system?

Perhaps in idle moments you've
been wondering all this time since
Founder's week just what went
into mysterious looking alumni
suggestion box. The Public Rela-tions
department has graciously
released a few of the more signifi-cant
comments received.
Students will surely arise and
rejoice that the alumni are no
longer out of touch with the reali-ties
of college life. They too now
realize that what, above all things,
this campus needs is class.
BUT NOT class alone, but in
combination with pure, wholesome
recreative activity. Two were per-ceptive
enough to recognize that
what Bethel really needs is a swim-ming
pool, the realist of the two
adding "indoors."
Looking ahead with paradisical
vision to the days of the new cam-pus,
one graduate suggested a
"speed boat and water skis," which
would serve the additional pur-pose
of mechanical training. Ima-gine
the learning experience in-volved
in guiding a 95 h.p. Chris-craft
around a lake one block in
area, to say nothing of skiing on
it.
Equally itriguing is the suggest-ed
prospect of "29 canoes" wedged
romantically into Lake Valentine.
THE ADVICE to construct a
"party room," presumably for po-

litical parties, has immediate rele-vance
to this week at Bethel and
should be very welcome. If per-chance
"party" should refer to
the more frivolous sort, then it
might include another suggestion,
of "12 pool tables."
The latter would provide an en-tirely
different but equaly neces-sary
sort of collegiate recreation,
and would provide a needed occu-pation
for those lonesome hours.
"A cyclotron for the science de-partment"
is a suggestion most in
touch with modern problems.
Bethel could then do its share in,
the race with Russia, plus perhaps
blowing up our little piece of the
world to save somebody else the
trouble.
Another alumnus, whose heart
obviously beats in sympathy with
the Bethel student, thought a
"Hertz Low-Cost Rent-A-Car Agen-cy"
would make a fine addition to
Bethel's student services. And
what could be more classy than
an "Everyman Drive His Own
(rented) Cadillac" movement.
We can be only grateful that
the alumni of Bethel know the
minds and hearts of college stu-dents
so intimately.
He took the position that
chapel should not be the place
to "show-off" talents, nor should
it provide students with an ex-cuse
for not participating in
church programs.
In conclusion, he asked for an
announcement of the chapel ser-vices,
since such a policy appears
to be in line with non-compulsory
attendance. He also questioned why
we have chapel, believing a pro-gram
should be developed to en-able
students to "give out," in ad-dition
to "taking in."
With the presentation of the
above opening statements, the floor
was opened for general discussion
by those present, and the follow-

Head of the team of architects
working on plans for the new cam-pus
is George Peacock of Hammel
and Greene, architectural firm.
Mr. Peacock came to St. Paul in
1953 from London, England, and
he is presently teaching at the
School of Architecture at the Uni-versity.
WHEN ASKED about impres-sions
of differences between the
British and Americans, Mr. Pea-cock
remarked that in Britain,
there is less interaction between
the faculty and the students. In
his words, "the faculty are more
of a hierarchy."
He stated further that students

ing is a summary of that discus-sion:
Chapel should provide a sup-plement
to regular church at-tendance,
but should not take
the place of private devotions or
prevent students from working
in the community. Perhaps one
chapel per week could be sus-pended
to allow for the latter.
In addition, services should be
well-planned and worshipful, and
more chapel series could be de-veloped.
Chapel should also allow
for presentation of contemporary
ideas and seek new ways to wor-ship
God, and so equip students
to eventually lead our conference.
It was noted that chapels should
be directed toward a college aud-ience,
remembering, however, that
the campus does not represent a
homogeneous group and that there
is a wide range in the thinking
students wish to do.
Although there was disagree-ment
as to whether more outside
speakers or greater use of stu-dents
and professors would be
more desirable, it was agreed
that speakers should confine
themselves to an area in which
they are knowledgable.
Finally, questions were asked
about the chapel committee—who
is on it, how are they appointed
and is it a closed corporation? The
discussion concluded with the com-ment
that it was hoped that the
chapel committee would give ser-ious
consideration to the student
thinking expressed during this
forum.

are of a higher standard, but
basically students are more simi-lar
than different."
Mr. Peacock has been working
on the master plans of the campus
for several years. His experience
with educational and religious
architecture makes him well quali-fied
for working with the problem
of Bethel's new campus.
"BETHEL HAS one of the most
exceptional sites for a campus in
the Twin City area," Mr. Peacock
said. "The entrance from Hamline
is exceptionally beautiful. We will
hope to exploit such natural fea-tures
as the changing levels, the
trees and the lake."
The architect suggested that
the design of Bethel's campus
would be less institutional than
one would usually associate with
an educational institution. He
feels that this is possible because
of the kind of people that come
to Bethel—"they seem to have a
respect for property."
"The nicest thing about Bethel,"
Peacock stated, "is that it is tied
in with a Christian environment.
The combination of worship and
education is the most valuable
thing a young person can have."
PEACOCK BELIEVES that, "be-ing
a Christian, helps me to un-derstand
what Bethel has in mind.
But excellence depends on the
client as well as the architect —
there must be frankness on both
sides. A good building is a pro-duct
of their combined resources.
"It is of prime importance
that the problem be clearly stat-ed.
Of course there will be many
opinions, anyone correct, but the
solution must be one strong con-cept.
The purpose of the archi-tecture
is to help the individual
in the whole process of his Chris-tian
life—in instruction, com-munication
and worship."
Peacock added that the architect
must guard against building just
a monument to himself .. "al-though
the personality of the ar-chitect
comes out in the archi-tecture
as a result of his personal
interpretation of what the prob-lem
is."
He is presently working with a
committee from the seminary on
programming plans for the semin-ary
buildings for which construc-tion
is scheduled to be begun in
the spring of 1964.

senate met for the second of its Spiceland initiated the discussion

forum began with two students, experience was valuable because
Jim Spiceland and Dave Sorley, it offered students a daily oppor-tunity
for corporate worship of
God.
He went on to comment that
compulsory chapel does not ap-pear
to be the answer for at-tendance
and that such action
would be out of keeping with
the school's commitments. He
felt that rebellious students
would not be helped by forced
chapel attendance.
Chapels dealing with the contem-porary
issue have been most bene-ficial,
he felt, and should be con-tinued
with greater frequency next
year.
Sorley felt that those chapels
which have been purely "worship-ful"
and those with good audience
participation—singing and/or tes-timonies—
were the most benefic-ial.

Double-header with River Falls
To Open ' 63 Baseball Season
(Photo by Ostrom)
Baseball action begins this afternoon as the Royals meet River
Falls in a double-header at Dunning field. One of the reasons for coach
Halleen's optimism is a strong group of returning lettermen. Pictured
are upperclassmen (I to r) Lyle Anderson, Dave Buck, Dave Cox, John
Holmberg, Bob Smith, Bob Larson and Don McKelvey.
Purcell Wins Mile At Mankato
As Royals Begin Track Campaign
TENNIS COACH Jerry Healy has announced the biggest turnout
for a tennis team in Bethel's history. Twelve men are currently on the
team, including Ed Carlson, George Palke, John Anderson, Roger Kings-ley,
Wendy Carroll, Don Wright, Dennis Wall, Dan Nix, Phil Wicklund,
Lindy Nelson and Paul Larson. Ed Carlson and Don Wright are the only
veterans from last year's team.
Scheduled for the season opener is a home match with Augsburg on
April 25 at 3 p.m. On April 30 both the tennis and golf teams will travel
to River Falls and on May 3 to Northwestern (Mpls.). Three home meets
in a row, Hamline on May 4, Northwestern on May 7 and River Falls
on May 13, and the Badger-Invitational meet on May 18 conclude this
year's schedule.
BETHEL GOLFERS Dick Lawrence, Jud Nelson, Wayne Schafer,
Gene Selander, Dave Sulack, Ed Van Rossum and Gene Weborg are also
preparing for this spring's inter-varsity competition. Duplicating the
schedule of the tennis team, the golfers will travel to River Falls on
April 30 and to Northwestern on May 3. Then they will host Northwestern
on May 7 and River Falls on May 13.
NAME-THE-CONFERENCE time is here. On May 17 representatives
from Bethel, Northland, Morris and Northwestern (Mpls.) will meet
to continue plans for a new conference among these schools. One of
the pertinent topics for discussion will be a name for the conference.
For this purpose the CLARION is sponsoring a contest for the student
body, faculty, administration and staff to find possible names. Sug-gestions
are to be submitted to the CLARION (P.O. 91) no later than
Friday, May 10. The name should be flexible enough to include future
members from neighboring states and suitable for symbolizing.
BEGINNING HIS TERM as sports editor of the CLARION with the
next issue will be sophomore Don Allison from Waukegan, Ill. I wish to
thank Don, Bill Carlson and Bill Damberg for their help on the sports
page this past year, as well as coaches Glader, Halleen and Healy for
their cooperation.
Curt Hallstrom and John Holm-berg
will pitch for Bethel as the
Royals open their 28-game schedule
today with a double-header against
River Falls at 1:30 p.m. on Dun-ning
field.
Bethel entertains Valley City at
2:30 p.m. on Friday and on Sun-day

and Gene Brunzell at first, Bob
Larson at second, Dave Cox at
shortstop and Jim Austin, Jim Fri-berg
and Don Land at third.
Lyle Anderson, Dave Buck, Bob
Smith, Doug Mankell and George
Harvey make up the outfield.
Coach Halleen previewed the
team as having "the best potential
I've coached at Bethel." Co-cap-tain
Cox and Hallstrom revealed
that "the players are excited about
the schedule and hope to have a
highly successful season."

Bethel's trackmen journeyed
south to Mankato on Saturday for
their first official meet of the cur-rent
track season. The triangular
meet, involving Bethel, Mankato's
non-lettermen and Gustavus Adol-phus,
was won handily by Man-kato.
Mankato, compiling 109 points
to Bethel's 14 and Gustavus' 38,
took first place in all but three
events: the mile (won by Bethel's
Fred Purcell in 4:31.1), the high
jump won by Gustavus' Rogeskio
with 6'3 1/2") and the 220 dash (won
by Gustavus' Haines in 23.1).

Barons Hold
Tourney Lead
Gene Brunzell's Barons main-tained
sole possession of first place
in the intramural volleyball loop
with a 5-1 record. In their last
two games they posted wins over
the Faculty and the Pages.
One half game out of first place
is the Knights with a 4-1 record.
They defeated the Peasants 15-12,
12-15 and 15-11.
In other action during the past
two weeks, the Squires beat the
Peasants, the Faculty and the
Counts. Last week the Counts
knocked the Seminarians from a
possible tie for first place with a
15-13, 5-15, 15-12 victory.
Besides their loss to the Barons,
the Pages defeated the Dukes, who
were defeated by the Seminarians
the previous week. The Jesters lost
by forfeit to the Faculty, which
gives them two forfeits for the
season and eliminates them from
league competition.
Dave Peterman, Dan Ciske and
Bob Smith still rank first, second
and third respectively in the intra-mural
tournament which will con-clude
on April 11.
